Great feeling and explosive riffs from his Fender Telecaster accompanied by fine vocals from the man himself and aided by some great blues muscians including Johnny B. Garden on Bass, Soko Richardson on Drums, Debbie Davies on Rythm Guitar and Eddie Harsch on Keyboards.

Next we go to one of my all time favourite rock bands and whether its the early 70's band created from the ashes of the Santana Abraxas band or the later hugely successful 80's incarnation, they epitomise American AOR. The most notable track from the album is of course "Don't Stop Believin" which in 2009 eighteen years after its release became the biggest selling tune on iTunes and also the biggest selling track not released in the 21st Century, with over 1 Billion Streams and 7 million downloads and named the biggest selling track of all time by Forbes ! The band has also sold over 100 million albums worldwide making them one of the worlds biggest selling bands of all time.
Personnel:
Steve Perry – lead vocals
Neal Schon – lead guitar, backing vocals
Jonathan Cain – keyboards, rhythm guitar, backing vocals
Ross Valory – bass, backing vocals
Steve Smith - drums
Track Listing:
1 Don't Stop Believin'
2 Stone in Love
3 Who's Crying Now
4 Keep On Runnin'
5 Still They Ride
6 Escape
7 Lay It Down
8 Dead Or Alive
9 Mother, Father
10 Open Arms

A friend recommended this to me, he picked up a copy in a vintage shop. I was aware of her but had not knowingly listened to her releases, I probably did on the radio when I was young. I believe she was quite popular in the 60's, she has a rather lovely voice and interprets songs well, this compilation is a good mix of songs, some with simple accompaniment and others with band/orchestra. Well worth a listen IMHO.

It certainly is. :)Quote:

Four acts that not only have I not heard, I haven't heard of!
How would you describe 'Dirty Vegas'?

A bit like Faithless in parts I think, though rather less melodic. Perhaps more like Leftfield.
Darker than a cellar in a power cut. Not for everyone, but I like it.

This track may be familiar, was the theme song for TV Series "Luther".

Nice choice, love Massive Attack.
Something a little more chilled as I am supposed to be working and can't get too excited being an insurance broker...
Fauxliage - Fauxliage (2007)
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikiped...iage-front.jpg
Fauxliage is a musical project consisting of Canadian electronic musicians Bill Leeb and Rhys Fulber, both of Delerium and Front Line Assembly, and Leigh Nash of Sixpence None the Richer in 2007.
Lovely voice, you may remember the Sixpence None the Richer smash hit "Kiss Me" which features lyrics that always make me snigger like Finbarr Saunders (if you know, you know!) "Kiss me, out of the bearded barley" and "Oh, kiss me, beneath the milky twilight"...
Yes I do remember the song. But I've never heard of Fauxliage, I'll be sure to check them out.
I've heard neither the song or the group.
Talking about things which invoke childish snigger, I came across a CD in a boot sale a couple of years ago, by an all-female group calling themselves "Cunt Spiders"! :eek: I almost bought it out of the sheer audacity of their name.
:lol: I would definitely have bought that, I might have to google them, but not on my work computer!
My research suggests the name is “Spider Cunts” rather than Cunt Spiders, and they are on Spotify with their solitary 2007 album - “Stuck Up -N- Mean”. Listening to a few snapshots of their tracks, I suggest you “dodged a bullet” there Barry - they’re total gash! (Phnarr, phnarr!)
(Mercifully the 14 track album is only 29m 10s long, although the track “You’ve Got Two Faces (& They’re Both Fucking Ugly) did make me smile!)
GREAT BAND, GREAT ALBUM - SHAME THEY SPLIT UP AS THEY DON'T GET ON ANYMORE (HENCE "KLEPTOMANIAC" ALBUM) AS I FEEL THEY COULD'VE STILL MADE GREAT MUSIC. I HAVE ALL THEIR CD's. :thumbsup:Quote:

Follow up to their debut "Glee" ("Drinking in LA" probably their best known track.)
First track "Astounded" features posthumously released vocals of the wonderful Curtis Mayfield. The rest of it is their usual goofy selves with some other notable collaborations
It's been bugging me all day, as I knew I had another album to follow the "Vegas" theme...

Good one Steve.
I've always been aware of Cat Stevens songs played on the radio, but it was something you'd said that prompted me to seek out an album to try. Cheers for that. "Catch Bull at Four" is on my list, but meanwhile this is going on the stereo next:Quote:

Quality album from a very underrated band :) I have a few of their albums, but this I think is their best.Quote:

I prefer Madge's early stuff when she had the squeaky voice but at these prices you might as well have it.
